<PAGE>   47
case not more than five Business Days' notice, that all, or any portion in an
aggregate minimum aggregate amount of $1,000,000 and an aggregate integral
multiple of $100,000 be, in the case of Base Rate Loans converted into LIBO
Rate Loans or be, in the case of LIBO Rate Loans converted into Base Rate Loans
or continued as LIBO Rate Loans (in the absence of delivery of a
Continuation/Conversion Notice with respect to any LIBO Rate Loan at least
three Business Days (but not more than five Business Days) before the last day
of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, such LIBO Rate Loan

obligation to make, continue or convert LIBO Rate Loans hereunder by causing
one of its foreign branches or Affiliates (or an international banking facility

however, that such LIBO Rate Loan shall nonetheless be deemed to have been made
and to be held by such Lender, and the obligation of the Borrower to repay such
LIBO Rate Loan shall nevertheless be to such Lender for the account of such
foreign branch, Affiliate or international banking facility.  In addition, the
Borrower hereby consents and agrees that, for purposes of any determination to
be made for purposes of Sections 4.1 through 4.5, it shall be conclusively

Dollar deposits in its LIBOR Office's interbank eurodollar market.

a Letter of Credit in such form as may be requested by the Borrower and
approved by the Issuer, such Letter of Credit to be used solely for the
purposes described in Section 4.10.  Each Letter of Credit shall by its terms
be stated to expire on a date (its "Stated Expiry Date") no later than the
earlier of (a) one year (or, in the case of the Letter of Credit issued under
the Existing Credit Agreement to Bankers Trust Company, up to 15 months) from

least 30 days' notice given by the Issuer to the beneficiary of such Letters of
Credit) and (b) the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date.  The Issuer
will make available to the beneficiary thereof the original of each Letter

each Letter of Credit issued by the Issuer pursuant hereto, and without further
action, each Lender (other than the Issuer) shall be deemed to have irrevocably
and unconditionally purchased (without recourse, representation or warranty),
to the extent of its Percentage, a participation interest in such Letter of
Credit (including the Contingent Liability and any Reimbursement Obligation
with respect thereto), and such Lender shall, to the extent of its Percentage,
be responsible for reimbursing promptly (and in any event within one Business
Day together with interest at the Federal Funds Rate (rounded upward, if

by the Borrower but have been required to be returned or disgorged by the
Issuer.  In addition, such Lender shall, to the extent of its Percentage and so
long as it shall have complied with its obligations under this Section and
Section 2.7.3, be entitled to receive a ratable portion of the Letter of Credit

Obligation") of the Borrower under Section 2.7.2 to reimburse the Issuer with
respect to each Disbursement (including interest thereon), and, upon the
failure of the Borrower to reimburse the Issuer (or if any reimbursement by the
Borrower must be returned or disgorged by the Issuer for any





                                      -42-
<PAGE>   49
reason), each Lender's obligation under Section 2.7.1 to reimburse the Issuer,
shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and
irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment which the
Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, may have or have had against the
Issuer or any Lender, including any defense based upon the failure of any
Disbursement to conform to the terms of the applicable Letter of Credit or any
non-application or misapplication by the beneficiary of the proceeds of such
Letter of Credit; provided, however, that after paying in full its
Reimbursement Obligation hereunder, nothing herein shall adversely affect the
right of the Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, to commence any
proceeding against the Issuer for any wrongful Disbursement made by the Issuer
under a Letter of Credit as a result of acts or omissions constituting gross
negligence or wilful misconduct on the part of such Issuer.

         SECTION 2.7.4.  Deemed Disbursements.  Upon the occurrence and during
the continuation of any Default of the type described in Section 8.1.9 or, with
notice from the Agent, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any
other Event of Default

                 (a)  an amount equal to that portion of all Letter of Credit
         Outstandings attributable to the then aggregate amount which is
         undrawn and available under all Letters of Credit issued and
         outstanding for the account of the Borrower shall, without demand upon
         or notice to the Borrower, be deemed to have been paid or disbursed by
         the Issuer under such Letters of Credit (notwithstanding that such
         amount may not in fact have been so paid or disbursed); and

                 (b)  upon notification by the Agent to the Borrower of its
         obligations under this Section, the Borrower shall be immediately
         obligated to reimburse the Issuer for the amount deemed to have been
         so paid or disbursed by such Issuer.

Any amounts so payable by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be
deposited in cash in an account under the sole control of the Agent and
otherwise on terms satisfactory to the Agent and held as collateral security
for the Obligations in connection with the Letters of Credit issued by the
Issuers.  In the case of any such deemed disbursement resulting from the
occurrence of a Default or Event of Default, if such Default or Event of
Default has been cured or waived, the Agent shall return to the Borrower all
amounts then on deposit with the Agent pursuant to this Section which have not
been applied to the partial satisfaction of such Obligations.

         SECTION 2.7.5.  Nature of Reimbursement Obligations.  The Borrower
and, to the extent set forth in Section 2.7.1, each





                                      -43-
<PAGE>   50
Lender shall assume all risks of the acts, omissions or misuse of any Letter of
Credit by the beneficiary thereof.  The Issuer shall not be responsible for:

                 (a)  the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or
         legal effect of any Letter of Credit or any document submitted by any
         party in connection with the application for and issuance of a Letter
         of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all
         respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged;

                 (b)  the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or
         legal effect of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting
         to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits
         thereunder or the proceeds thereof in whole or in part, which may
         prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason;

                 (c)  failure of the beneficiary to comply fully with
         conditions required in order to demand payment under a Letter of
         Credit;

                 (d)  errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in
         transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph,
         telex or otherwise; or

                 (e)  any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any
         document or draft required in order to make a Disbursement under a
         Letter of Credit.

None of the foregoing shall affect, impair or prevent the vesting of any of the
rights or powers granted to the Issuer or any Lender hereunder.  In furtherance
and extension and not in limitation or derogation of any of the foregoing, any
action taken or omitted to be taken by an Issuer in good faith shall be binding
upon the Borrower and each such Lender, and shall not put such Issuer under any
resulting liability to the Borrower or any such Lender, as the case may be.

         SECTION 2.8.  Notes.  Each Lender's Loans under a Commitment shall be
evidenced by a Note payable to the order of such Lender in a maximum principal
amount equal to such Lender's Percentage of the original applicable Commitment
Amount.  The Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes each Lender to make (or
cause to be made) appropriate notations on the grid attached to such Lender's
Notes (or on any continuation of such grid), which notations, if made, shall
evidence, inter alia, the date of, the outstanding principal of, and the
interest rate applicable to, the Loans evidenced thereby.  Such notations shall
be rebuttable presumptive evidence of the matters evidenced thereby; provided,
however, that the failure of any Lender to make any such





                                      -44-
<PAGE>   51
notations shall not limit or otherwise affect any Obligations of the Borrower
or any other Obligor.

                   REPAYMENTS, PREPAYMENTS, INTEREST AND FEES

         SECTION 3.1.  Repayments and Prepayments.  The Borrower shall repay in
full the unpaid principal amount of each Loan upon the Stated Maturity Date

3.1.

         SECTION 3.1.1.  Voluntary Prepayments.  Prior to the Stated Maturity
Date, the Borrower may, from time to time on any Business Day, make a voluntary
prepayment, in whole or in part, of the outstanding principal amount of all
Term Loans or Revolving Loans; provided, however, that

                 (a)  any such prepayments shall be made pro rata among Loans
         of the same type and, if applicable, having the same Interest Period
         of all the Lenders;

                 (b)  all such voluntary prepayments shall require written
         notice prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on any Business Day
         but no more than five Business Days' prior written notice to the
         Agent; and

                 (c)  all such voluntary partial prepayments shall be in an
         aggregate minimum amount of (i) $1,000,000 and an integral multiple of
         $500,000 for Term Loans, and (ii) $1,000,000 and an integral multiple
         of $100,000 for Revolving Loans.

Each voluntary prepayment of Term Loans made pursuant to this Section, shall be
applied, to the extent of such prepayment, in the inverse order of the
scheduled repayments of the Term Loans set forth in clause (b) of Section 3.1.2
and shall be applied first to any Base Rate Loans outstanding prior to being
applied to any LIBO Rate Loans outstanding.  Each prepayment of any Loans made
pursuant to this Section shall be without premium or penalty but subject to
Section 4.4.

         SECTION 3.1.2.  Mandatory Prepayments.  Prior to the Stated Maturity
Date,

                 (a)  the Borrower shall, on each date when the sum of (x) the
         aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Revolving Loans and (y)
         Letter of Credit Outstandings exceeds the lesser of (i) the Revolving
         Loan Commitment Amount (as it may be reduced from time to time) and
         (ii) the then existing Borrowing Base Amount plusthe Letter of





                                      -45-

         Credit Outstandings in respect of the Sunshine Letter of Credit, make
         a mandatory prepayment of all Revolving Loans in an amount equal to
         such excess;

                 (b)  the Borrower shall, on each date set forth below, make a
         scheduled repayment of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of
         all Term Loans in the amount set forth opposite each such date:

         Proceeds, Net Equity Proceeds, Excess Insurance Proceeds and Net Debt
         Proceeds, as the case may be, and (B) 75% of all such Excess Cash

                 (d)  the Borrower shall, immediately upon any acceleration of
         the Stated Maturity Date of any Loans pursuant to Section 8.2 or
         Section 8.3, repay all (or if only a portion of the Loans are
         accelerated thereunder, such portion of) the Loans; and

                 (e)  the Borrower shall prepay Revolving Loans so that the
         aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Revolving Loans
         outstanding does not exceed $4,000,000 during a five consecutive
         calendar day period during each calendar month (each such period, a
         "Clean-Down Period").

Each prepayment of any Loans made pursuant to this Section shall be made
without premium or penalty, except as specified herein.

         SECTION 3.2.  Interest Provisions.  Interest on the outstanding
principal amount of Loans shall accrue and be payable in accordance with this
Section 3.2.

         SECTION 3.2.1.  Rates.  Subject to Sections 2.4 and 2.5, the Borrower
may elect, pursuant to an appropriately delivered Borrowing Request or
Continuation/Conversion Notice, that Loans comprising a Borrowing accrue
interest at a rate per annum:

                 (a)  on that portion maintained from time to time as Base Rate
         Loans, equal to the sum of the SG Base Rate from time to time in
         effect plus 1.25%; and

                 (b)  on that portion maintained as a LIBO Rate Loan, during
         each Interest Period applicable thereto, equal to the sum of the LIBO
         Rate (Reserve Adjusted) for such Interest Period plus 2.5%.

         "LIBO Rate (Reserve Adjusted)" means, relative to any Loan to be made,
continued or maintained as, or converted into, a LIBO Rate Loan for any
Interest Period, a rate per annum (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the
nearest 1/16 of 1%) determined pursuant to the following formula:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
         
         <S>                    <C>  <C>
            LIBO Rate           =              LIBO Rate          
                                     -----------------------------
         (Reserve Adjusted)          1.00 - LIBOR Reserve Percentage
</TABLE>


The LIBO Rate (Reserve Adjusted) for any Interest Period for LIBO Rate Loans
will be determined by the Agent on the basis of the LIBOR Reserve Percentage in
effect on, and the applicable rates furnished to and received by the Agent from
SG, two Business Days before the first day of such Interest Period.

         "LIBO Rate" means, relative to any Interest Period for LIBO Rate
Loans, the rate of interest equal to the average (rounded upwards, if
necessary, to the nearest 1/16 of 1%) of the rates





                                      -47-
<PAGE>   54
per annum at which Dollar deposits in immediately available funds are offered
to SG's LIBOR Office in the London, England interbank market at or about 11:00
a.m. (London, England time) two Business Days prior to the beginning of such
Interest Period for delivery on the first day of such Interest Period, and in
an amount approximately equal to the amount of SG's LIBO Rate Loan and for a
period approximately equal to such Interest Period.

         "LIBOR Reserve Percentage" means, relative to any Interest Period for
LIBO Rate Loans, the reserve requirements (expressed as a decimal) equal to the
maximum aggregate reserve requirements (including all basic, emergency,
supplemental, marginal and other reserves and taking into account any
transitional adjustments or other scheduled changes in reserve requirements)
specified under regulations issued from time to time by the F.R.S. Board and
then applicable to assets or liabilities consisting of or including
"Eurocurrency Liabilities", as currently defined in Regulation D of the F.R.S.
Board, having a term approximately equal or comparable to such Interest Period.

         All LIBO Rate Loans shall bear interest from and including the first
day of the applicable Interest Period to (but not including) the last day of
such Interest Period at the interest rate determined as applicable to such LIBO
Rate Loan.

         SECTION 3.2.2.  Post-Default Rates.  From and after the occurrence of
any Event of Default, the Borrower shall pay, but only to the extent permitted
by law, interest (after as well as before judgment) on such amounts at a rate
per annum equal to the rate per annum otherwise in effect plus a further margin
of 2% per annum.

         SECTION 3.2.3.  Payment Dates.  Interest accrued on each Loan shall be
payable, without duplication:

                 (a)  on the Stated Maturity Date therefor;

                 (b)  on the date of any payment or prepayment, in whole or in
         part, of principal outstanding on such Loan on the principal amount so
         paid or prepaid;

                 (c)  with respect to Base Rate Loans, on each  Quarterly
         Payment Date occurring after the Effective Date;

                 (d)  with respect to LIBO Rate Loans, on the last day of each
         applicable Interest Period (and, if such Interest Period shall exceed
         90 days, on the 90th day of such Interest Period); and

                 (e)  on that portion of any Loans the Stated Maturity Date of
         which is accelerated pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 8.3,
         immediately upon such acceleration.





                                      -48-
<PAGE>   55
Interest accrued on Loans or other monetary Obligations arising under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document after the date such amount is due and
payable (whether on the Stated Maturity Date therefor, upon acceleration or
otherwise) shall be payable upon demand.

         SECTION 3.3.  Fees.  The Borrower agrees to pay the fees set forth in
this Section 3.3.  All such fees shall be non-refundable.

         SECTION 3.3.1.  Commitment Fee.  The Borrower agrees to pay to the
Agent, for the pro rata account of each Lender of Revolving Loans, for the
period (including any portion thereof when the Revolving Loan Commitment is
suspended by reason of the Borrower's inability to satisfy any condition of
Article V) commencing on the Effective Date and continuing through the
Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date, a commitment fee at the rate of 1/2
of 1% per annum on such Lender's Percentage of the sum of the average daily
undrawn and unused portion of the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount.  The
Revolving Loan Commitment shall be considered to be used by the amount of the
Letter of Credit Outstandings.  Such commitment fees shall be payable by the
Borrower in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date, commencing with the first
Quarterly Payment Date following the Effective Date, and on the Revolving Loan
Commitment Termination Date.

         SECTION 3.3.2.  Letter of Credit Fee.  The Borrower agrees to pay to
the Agent, for the pro rata account of the Issuer and each other Lender of
Revolving Loans, a Letter of Credit fee in an amount equal to 2.5% multiplied
by the Stated Amount of all Letters of Credit outstanding, such fee to be paid
quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date and on the Revolving Loan
Commitment Termination Date.  The Borrower further agrees to pay to the Issuer
(a) on the date of (x) the issuance of each Letter of Credit, (y) each increase
in the Stated Amount thereof and (z) each extension (automatic or otherwise) of
the Stated Expiry Date thereof, an issuance fee in an amount equal to the
greater of (i) $500 and (ii)  1/4 of 1% of the Stated Amount thereof (or
increase in such Stated Amount) and (b) all costs and expenses incurred by the
Issuer in connection with such Letter of Credit.

         SECTION 3.3.3.  Agent's Fees, etc.  The Borrower agrees to pay to the
Agent for its own account, fees in the amounts, on the dates and in the manner
set forth in the Fee Letter.

                     CERTAIN LIBO RATE AND OTHER PROVISIONS

         SECTION 4.1.  LIBO Rate Lending Unlawful.  If any Lender shall
determine (which determination shall, upon notice thereof to the Borrower and
the Agent, be conclusive and binding on the Borrower) that the introduction of
or any change in or in the interpretation of any law makes it unlawful, or any
central bank or other governmental authority asserts that it is unlawful, for
such Lender to make, continue or maintain any Loan as, or to convert any Loan
into, a LIBO Rate Loan, the obligations of such Lender to make, continue,
maintain or convert any such LIBO Rate Loan shall, upon such determination,
forthwith be suspended until such Lender shall notify the Agent that the
circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, and all outstanding LIBO
Rate Loans of such Lender shall automatically convert into Base Rate Loans at
the end of the then current Interest Periods with respect thereto or sooner, if
required by such law or assertion.

         SECTION 4.2.  Deposits Unavailable.  If the Agent shall have
determined that

                 (a)  Dollar deposits in the relevant amount and for the
         relevant Interest Period are not available to SG in its relevant
         market; or

                 (b)  by reason of circumstances affecting SG's relevant
         market, adequate means do not exist for ascertaining the interest rate
         applicable hereunder to LIBO Rate Loans,

then, upon notice from the Agent to the Borrower and the Lenders, the
obligations of all Lenders under Section 2.3 and Section 2.4 to make or
continue any Loans as, or to convert any Loans into, LIBO Rate Loans shall
forthwith be suspended until the Agent shall notify the Borrower and the
Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.

         SECTION 4.3.  Increased Costs, etc.  (a)  The Borrower agrees to
reimburse each Lender for any increase in the cost to such Lender of, or any
reduction in the amount of any sum receivable by such Lender in respect of,
making, continuing or maintaining (or of its obligation to make, continue or
maintain) any Loans as, or of converting (or of its obligation to convert) any
Loans into, LIBO Rate Loans (including but not limited to any imposition or
effectiveness of reserve requirements not already included in the LIBO Rate
Reserve Percentage but excluding increases in Taxes and taxes expressly
excluded from Taxes pursuant to the first sentence of Section 4.6, as to which
the provisions of Section 4.6 shall control) that arise in connection with any
change in, or the introduction, adoption, effectiveness, interpretation,
reinterpretation or phase-in, after the Effective Date, of, any law or
regulation, directive, guideline, decision





                                      -50-

or request (whether or not having the force of law) of any court, central bank,
regulator or other governmental authority.  Such Lender shall promptly notify
the Agent and the Borrower in writing of the occurrence of any such event, such
notice to state, in reasonable detail, the reasons therefor and the additional
amount required fully to compensate such Lender for such increased cost or
reduced amount.  Such additional amounts shall be paid by the Borrower directly
to such Lender promptly (and, in any event, within 15 Business Days of receipt
of such notice), and such notice shall, in the absence of manifest error, be
conclusive and binding on the Borrower.

         (b)  If at any time the introduction or effectiveness of or any change
in any applicable law, rule or regulation (including without limitation those
announced or published prior to the date of this Agreement), or in the
interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority charged
with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender
with any request or directive issued by any such authority (whether or not
having the force of law) shall either (i) impose, modify or make applicable any
reserve, deposit, capital adequacy or similar requirement against letters of
credit issued, or participated in, by any Issuer or Lender, or (ii) impose on
any Issuer or Lender any other conditions affecting this Agreement or any
Letter of Credit; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the
cost to any Issuer or Lender of issuing, maintaining or participating in any
Letter of Credit, or reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by any
Issuer or Lender hereunder with respect to Letters of Credit, then, within ten
days of the receipt of the notice referred to below (which notice shall be
given by the respective Issuer or Lender promptly after it determines such
increased cost or reduction is applicable to Letters of Credit or its
participation therein) to the Borrower by the respective Issuer or Lender (a
copy of which notice shall be sent by such Issuer or Lender to the Agent), the
Borrower shall pay to such Issuer or Lender such additional amount or amounts
as will compensate such Issuer or Lender for such increased cost or reduction.
A notice submitted to the Borrower by such Issuer or Lender, setting forth the
basis for the calculation of such additional amount or amounts necessary to
compensate such Issuer or Lender as aforesaid shall be conclusive and binding
on the Borrower absent manifest error.

         SECTION 4.4.  Funding Losses.  In the event any Lender shall incur any
loss or expense (including any loss (other than the loss of any payments in
respect of the 1.25% and 2.5% margins referred to in clauses (a) and (b),
respectively, of Section 3.2.1) or expense incurred by reason of the
liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender
to make, continue or maintain any portion of the principal amount of any Loan
as, or to convert any portion of the principal amount of any Loan into, a LIBO
Rate Loan) as a result of





                                      -51-
<PAGE>   58
                 (a)  any conversion or repayment or prepayment of the
         principal amount of any LIBO Rate Loans on a date other than the
         scheduled last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, whether
         pursuant to Section 3.1 or otherwise;

                 (b)  any Loans not being made as LIBO Rate Loans in accordance
         with the Borrowing Request therefor as a result of the conditions
         precedent to such Loans not being satisfied or as a result of the
         Borrower attempting to revoke such Borrowing Request; or

                 (c)  any Loans not being continued as, or converted into LIBO
         Rate Loans in accordance with the Continuation/Conversion Notice
         therefor,

then, upon the written notice of such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to
the Agent), the Borrower shall promptly (and, in any event, within 15 Business
Days of receipt of such notice) pay directly to such Lender such amount as will
(in the determination of such Lender) reimburse such Lender for such loss or
expense.  Such written notice (which shall include calculations in reasonable
detail) shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on
the Borrower.

         SECTION 4.5.  Increased Capital Costs.  If any change in, or the
introduction, adoption, effectiveness, interpretation, reinterpretation or
phase-in of, any law or regulation, directive, guideline, decision or request
(whether or not having the force of law) of any court, central bank, regulator
or other governmental authority affects or would affect the amount of capital
required or expected to be maintained by any Lender or Issuer or any Person
controlling such Lender or Issuer, and such Lender or Issuer determines (in its
sole and absolute discretion) that the rate of return on its or such
controlling Person's capital as a consequence of its Commitments or the Loans
made by such Lender or (to the extent, if any, not covered by Section 4.3(b)
hereof) Letters of Credit issued or participated in by such Lender or Issuer is
reduced to a level below that which such Lender, Issuer or such controlling
Person (to the extent, if any, not covered by Section 4.3(b) hereof) could have
achieved but for the occurrence of any such circumstance, then, in any such
case upon notice from time to time by such Lender or Issuer to the Borrower,
the Borrower shall immediately pay directly to such Lender or Issuer additional
amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or Issuer or such controlling
Person for such reduction in rate of return.  A statement of such Lender or
Issuer as to any such additional amount or amounts (including calculations
thereof in reasonable detail) shall, in the absence of manifest error, be
conclusive and binding on the Borrower.  In determining such amount, such
Lender or Issuer may use any method of averaging and attribution that it (in
its sole and absolute discretion) shall deem applicable.





                                      -52-
<PAGE>   59
         SECTION 4.6.  Taxes.  All payments by the Borrower hereunder and under
all other Loan Documents shall be made free and clear of and without deduction
for any present or future income, excise, stamp or franchise taxes and other
taxes, fees, duties or withholdings or other charges of any nature whatsoever
imposed by any taxing authority, but excluding franchise taxes, taxes imposed
on or measured by any Lender's net income or receipts or similar taxes (such
non-excluded items, solely for purposes of this Section, being called
"Charges").  In the event that any withholding or deduction from any payment to
be made by the Borrower hereunder is required in respect of any Charges
pursuant to any applicable law, rule or regulation (whether such law, rule or
regulation is in effect at the Effective Date or is enacted or implemented at
any time thereafter), then the Borrower will

                 (i)  pay directly to the relevant authority the full amount
         required to be so withheld or deducted;

                 (ii)  promptly forward to the Agent an official receipt or
         other documentation satisfactory to the Agent evidencing such payment
         to such authority; and

                 (iii)  pay to the Agent for the account of the Lenders such
         additional amount or amounts as is necessary to ensure that the net
         amount actually received by each Lender will equal the full amount
         such Lender would have received had no such withholding or deduction
         been required.

Moreover, if any Charges are directly asserted against the Agent, any Lender or
any Issuer with respect to any payment received by the Agent, such Lender or
such Issuer hereunder, the Agent or such Lender may pay such Charges and the
Borrower will promptly pay such additional amounts (including any penalties,
interest or expenses) as is necessary in order that the net amount received by
such person after the payment of such Charges (including any Charges on such
additional amount) shall equal the amount such person would have received had
not such Charges been asserted.

         If the Borrower fails to pay any Charges when due to the appropriate
taxing authority or fails to remit to the Agent, for the account of the
respective Lenders and the Issuer, the required receipts or other required
documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify the Lenders and the Issuer
for any incremental Charges, interest or penalties that may become payable by
any Lender as a result of any such failure.  For purposes of this Section, a
distribution hereunder by the Agent or any Lender or the Issuer to or for the
account of any Lender or the Issuer shall be deemed a payment by the Borrower.

         Each Lender which is not a United States Person for Federal income tax
purposes agrees, to the extent that (i) all income realized by such Lender in
respect of any loan or this Agreement





                                      -53-
<PAGE>   60
is, or is expected to be, effectively connected with the conduct by such Lender
of a trade or business in the United States and is includable in gross income
of such Lender for the relevant tax year or (ii) such Lender is entitled to a
total or partial exemption from withholding that is required to be evidenced by
United States Internal Revenue Service Form 1001 or 4224, to deliver to the
Agent and the Borrower, from time to time as requested to the Agent and the
Borrower, such Form 1001 or 4224 ("Exemption Certificate") or any applicable
successor form thereto, completed in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the
Agent and the Borrower.

         If a Lender which is not a United States person for federal income tax
purposes has not delivered an Exemption Certificate to the Borrower on or
before its first participation as Lender hereunder or within a reasonable
period of time thereafter, then the Borrower shall not have any obligation to
indemnify such Lender for charges (including related penalties, interest and
expenses) imposed by the United States or any political subdivision thereof
pursuant to this section.

         SECTION 4.7.  Payments, Computations, etc.  Unless otherwise expressly
provided, all payments by the Borrower pursuant to or in respect of this
Agreement, the Notes, each Letter of Credit or any other Loan Document shall be
made by the Borrower to the Agent for the pro rata account of the Lenders
entitled to receive such payment.  All such payments required to be made to the
Agent shall be made, without setoff, deduction or counterclaim, not later than
11:00 a.m. (New York City time), on the date due, in same day or immediately
available funds, to such account as the Agent shall specify from time to time
by notice to the Borrower.  Funds received after that time shall be deemed to
have been received by the Agent on the next succeeding Business Day.  The Agent
shall promptly remit in same day funds to each Lender its share, if any, of
such payments received by the Agent for the account of such Lender.  All
interest and fees (including any Post-Default Rate interest payments made
pursuant to Section 3.2.2) shall be computed on the basis of the actual number
of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring during
the period for which such interest or fee is payable over a year comprised of
360 days (or, in the case of interest on Base Rate Loans, 365 days or, if
appropriate, 366 days).  Whenever any payment to be made shall otherwise be due
on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall (except as otherwise
required by clause (c) of the definition of the term "Interest Period" with
respect to LIBO Rate Loans) be made on the next succeeding Business Day and
such extension of time shall be included in computing interest and fees, if
any, in connection with such payment.  The Agent is authorized to charge any
account maintained by the Borrower with it for any Obligations owing to it or
any of the Lenders.





                                      -54-
<PAGE>   61
         SECTION 4.8.  Sharing of Payments.  If any Lender shall obtain any
payment or other recovery (whether voluntary, involuntary, by application of
setoff or otherwise) on account of any Loan (other than pursuant to the terms
of Sections 4.3, 4.4, 4.5 and 4.6) in excess of its pro rata share of payments
pursuant to Section 4.7, then or therewith obtained by all Lenders, such Lender
shall purchase from the other Lenders such participations in Credit Extensions
made by them (without recourse, representation or warranty) as shall be
necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment or other
recovery ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any
portion of the excess payment or other recovery is thereafter recovered from
such purchasing Lender, the purchase shall be rescinded and each Lender which
has sold a participation to the purchasing Lender shall repay to the purchasing
Lender the purchase price to the ratable extent of such recovery together with
an amount equal to such selling Lender's ratable share (according to the
proportion of (a) the amount of such selling Lender's required repayment to the
purchasing Lender to (b) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing
Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing
Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered.  The Borrower agrees that
any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this
Section may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of
payment (including pursuant to Section 4.9) with respect to such participation
as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the
amount of such participation.  If under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency
or other similar law, any Lender receives a secured claim in lieu of a setoff
to which this Section applies, such Lender shall, to the extent practicable,
exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent
with the rights of the Lenders entitled under this Section to share in the
benefits of any recovery on such secured claim.

         SECTION 4.9.  Setoff.  Each Lender shall, upon the occurrence of any
Event of Default and with the consent of the Required Lenders, to the extent
permitted under applicable law, appropriate and apply to the payment of the
Obligations owing to it (whether or not then due), and (as security for such
Obligations) each of the Borrower and the Parent hereby grants to each Lender a
continuing security interest in, any and all balances, credits, deposits,
accounts or moneys of the Borrower and the Parent then or thereafter maintained
with such Lender; provided, however, that any such appropriation and
application shall be subject to the provisions of Section 4.8 (each Lender
agreeing promptly to notify the Borrower or the Parent, as the case may be, and
the Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Lender; but the
failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and
application).  The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to
other





                                      -55-
<PAGE>   62
rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff under applicable law or
otherwise) which such Lender may have.

         SECTION 4.10.  Use of Proceeds.  The Borrower shall apply all the
proceeds of the Credit Extensions made on the Effective Date in accordance with
the twelfth recital.  The proceeds from all subsequent Credit Extensions shall
be applied (a) for working capital and general corporate purposes of the
Borrower, (b) to make revolving loans from time to time by the Borrower to
Petroleum, and (c) for issuing Letters of Credit for working capital and
general corporate purposes of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and Petroleum.

substantially as currently conducted by it except where the failure to hold a
governmental license, permit, or other approval to own or hold under lease its

         corporation in any jurisdiction where the Borrower or the other
         Subsidiaries of the Parent have assets or conduct business, except
         where failure to maintain and preserve such existence or qualification
         would not materially adversely affect the Borrower's or the Parent's
         consolidated financial condition, operations, assets, business,
         revenues, properties or prospects; and

                 (b)  comply in all material respects with all governmental

therewith may be properly conducted at all times (including the maintenance of
convenience stores consistent with the specifications set forth in the

in good faith that the continued maintenance of any of its properties is no
longer economically desirable (provided that any such determination with
respect to any property material to the operations of the Borrower or any other
Subsidiary of the Parent shall be made only after consultation with the Agent).

such policies to have knowledge of the contents thereof.  The Borrower will
also deliver, and the Parent will also cause its Subsidiaries to deliver, to
the Agent not later than five days prior to the expiration of any policy a
binder or certificate of the insurer evidencing the replacement thereof.

         (d)  If a Default or Event of Default has not occurred and is
continuing, all proceeds of property insurance (other than any such proceeds
which reimburse the Borrower or any other applicable Subsidiary of the Parent
for environmental liabilities or remediation costs previously paid by the
Borrower or such Subsidiary) paid on account of the loss of or damage to any
property or asset of the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries shall be paid to the
Borrower or other applicable Subsidiary of the Parent, and the Borrower or such
Subsidiary shall use such proceeds within 365 days thereafter to repair,
restore or replace such property or asset or to reinvest in other capital
assets reasonably related to the ownership and operation of convenience stores.
With respect to any casualty or other covered occurrence in which the aggregate
proceeds of property insurance receivable by the Borrower or any other
applicable Subsidiary of the Parent (other than any such proceeds which
reimburse the Borrower or such Subsidiary for environmental liabilities or
remediation costs previously paid by the Borrower or such Subsidiary) exceeds





                                      -78-
<PAGE>   85
$250,000, to the extent the Borrower or such Subsidiary elects not to apply
such insurance proceeds for the repair, replacement or restoration of such
property or asset or for reinvestment in capital assets reasonably related to
the ownership and operation of convenience stores, or such insurance proceeds
are not in fact so applied within 365 days, all of such unutilized insurance
proceeds shall be delivered by the Borrower or such Subsidiary (and the Parent
shall cause such Subsidiary to so deliver) to the Agent and shall constitute
"Excess Insurance Proceeds," to be applied as a mandatory prepayment of the
Term Loans pursuant to clause (c) of Section 3.1.2.  Notwithstanding any
provision to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, if an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, all proceeds of property
insurance (including business interruption insurance) shall be payable directly
to the Agent and the Agent in its sole discretion may treat such proceeds as
"Excess Insurance Proceeds" or, subject to the consent of the Required Lenders,
permit the use of such proceeds to repair, restore or replace the property or
asset which suffered the loss for which such proceeds are being paid.

         SECTION 7.1.5.  Books and Records.  (a)  The Borrower and the Parent
will, and will cause each of their respective Subsidiaries to, keep books and
records which accurately reflect all of their respective business affairs and
transactions.

         (b)  The Borrower and the Parent will, and will cause each of their
respective Subsidiaries to, permit the Agent and each Lender or any of their
representatives, at reasonable times and intervals and upon reasonable notice,
to visit all of their respective offices, to discuss their respective financial
matters with their respective officers and independent public accountant and
consultants (and the Borrower and the Parent hereby authorize such independent
public accountant and consultants to discuss such financial matters with each
Lender or its representatives whether or not any representative of the Borrower
or Parent is present) and to examine (and, at the expense of the Borrower, copy
extracts from) any of their respective books or other corporate records
(including computer records).

         (c)  The Borrower shall pay any fees of such independent public
accountant and consultants incurred in connection with the Agent's or any
Lender's exercise of its rights pursuant to this Section.  The Agent, in its
sole discretion and at the sole expense of the Borrower, may conduct such
audits and examinations of the books and records of the Parent and its
Subsidiaries as the Agent reasonably deems necessary or advisable.

         SECTION 7.1.6.  Environmental Covenant.  The Borrower and the Parent
will, and will cause each of their respective Subsidiaries to,





                                      -79-

                 (a)  use and operate all of its facilities and properties in
         compliance in all material respects with all Environmental Laws, keep
         (and, when applicable, obtain in a timely manner) all necessary

         authorizations relating to environmental matters in effect and remain
         in compliance in all material respects therewith, and handle all
         Hazardous Materials (including the disposition and storing thereof) in
         compliance in all material respects with all applicable Environmental
         Laws;

                 (b)  respond to all Releases in accordance with law and in a
         manner that assures and will assure that, to the maximum extent
         commercially practicable, State funds pay for the response to
         Releases;

                 (c)  promptly notify the Agent and provide copies upon receipt
         of all written claims, complaints, notices or inquiries relating to
         the condition of its facilities and properties or compliance with
         Environmental Laws; and

                 (d)  provide such information and certifications which the
         Agent may reasonably request from time to time to evidence compliance
         with this Section.

         SECTION 7.1.7.  As to Intellectual Property Collateral.  (a)  The
Borrower shall not, and the Parent shall not permit any of its other
Subsidiaries to, unless the Borrower or such Subsidiary shall reasonably and in
good faith determine that any of its Intellectual Property Collateral is of
negligible economic value to it (provided that any such determination with
respect to any trademark or other mark used in connection with the name of any
convenience store or gasoline station shall be made only after consultation
with the Agent), do any act, or omit to do any act, whereby any of such
Intellectual Property Collateral may lapse or become abandoned or dedicated to
the public or unenforceable.

         (b)  The Borrower or the Parent shall notify the Agent immediately if
it knows, or has reason to know, that any application or registration relating
to any material item of the Intellectual Property Collateral may become
abandoned or dedicated to the public or placed in the public domain or invalid
or unenforceable, or of any adverse determination or development (including the
institution of, or any such determination or development in, any proceeding in
the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright
Office or any foreign counterpart thereof or any court) regarding the ownership
of the Borrower or any other Subsidiary of the Parent of any material item of
the Intellectual Property Collateral or the Borrower's or such Subsidiary's
right to register the same or to keep and maintain and enforce the same.

         (c)  In no event shall the Borrower or any other Subsidiary of the
Parent, or any of their respective agents, employees, designees or licensees,
file an application for the registration of any Intellectual Property
Collateral with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United
States Copyright Office or any similar office or agency in any other country or
any political subdivision thereof, unless it promptly informs the Agent, and
upon request of the Agent, executes and delivers any and all agreements,
instruments, documents and papers as the Agent may reasonably request to
evidence the Agent's security interest in such Intellectual Property Collateral
and the goodwill and general intangibles of the Borrower or such Subsidiary
relating thereto or represented thereby.

         (d)  The Borrower shall take, and the Parent shall cause its
Subsidiaries to take, all necessary steps, including in any proceeding before
the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright
Office, to maintain and pursue any application (and to obtain the relevant
registration) filed with respect to, and to maintain any registration of, any
material item of the Intellectual Property Collateral, including the filing of
applications for renewal, affidavits of use, affidavits of incontestability and
opposition, interference and cancellation proceedings and the payment of fees
and taxes (except to the extent that dedication, abandonment or invalidation is
permitted under the foregoing clauses (a), (b) and (c)).

         SECTION 7.1.8.  Future Subsidiaries.  Without limiting the effect of
any provision contained herein (including Section 7.2.5), upon any Person

         pursuant to the Original Credit Agreement, if not already a party to
         any of the foregoing, with such modifications as the Agent may
         reasonably request, in a manner satisfactory to the Agent;

                 (b)  the Borrower and the applicable Subsidiary shall,
         pursuant to the Borrower Pledge Agreement, or the Parent and the
         applicable Subsidiary shall, pursuant to the Parent Pledge Agreement,

                 stock of such Subsidiary owned directly by it, along with

                 Indebtedness in favor of the Borrower and each such Subsidiary
                 (which shall be in substantially the form of Attachment A to
                 the Borrower Pledge Agreement), as the case may be;

                 (c)  the Agent shall have received from each such Subsidiary
         certified copies of Uniform Commercial Code Requests for Information
         or Copies (Form UCC-11), or a similar search report certified by a

         statements, tax liens and judgment liens which name such Person as the
         debtor and which are filed in the jurisdictions in which filings are
         to be made pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents,
         and in such other jurisdictions as the Agent may reasonably request,
         together with copies of such financing statements (none of which
         (other than financing statements (i) filed pursuant to the terms
         hereof in favor of the Agent, if such Form UCC-11 or search report, as
         the case may be, is current enough to list such financing statements,

         executed copies of U.C.C. financing statements naming each such
         Subsidiary as the debtor and the Agent as the secured party, suitable

         or, in the reasonable opinion of the Agent, desirable to perfect the
         first priority security interest of the Agent pursuant to the security
         agreement entered into by such Subsidiary, together with evidence
         satisfactory to the Agent of the filing (or delivery for filing) of
         appropriate trademark, copyright and patent security supplements,

relating thereto, which legal opinions shall be in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Agent.

respective Subsidiaries hereby authorize the Agent to file one or more
financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, relative to all
or any part of the Collateral without the signature of the Borrower, the Parent

                                    GUARANTY

         SECTION 9.1.  The Guaranty.  The Parent hereby unconditionally and
irrevocably guarantees the full and prompt payment when due, whether at stated
maturity, by acceleration or otherwise (including all amounts which would have
become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of
the Federal Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C.  362(a), and the operation of Sections
502(b) and 506(b) of the United States Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. Section
502(b) and Section 506(b)), of the following (collectively, the "Guaranteed
Obligations"),





                                     -101-
<PAGE>   108
                 (a)  all Obligations of the Borrower and each other Obligor to
         the Agent and each of the Lenders now or hereafter existing under this
         Agreement and each other Loan Document, whether for principal,
         interest, fees, expenses or otherwise; and

                 (b)  all other Obligations to the Agent and each of the
         Lenders now or hereafter existing under any of the Loan Documents,
         whether for principal, interest, fees, expenses or otherwise.

The obligations of the Parent under this Article IX constitute a guaranty of
payment when due and not of collection, and the Parent specifically agrees that
it shall not be necessary or required that the Agent, any Lender or any holder
of any Note exercise any right, assert any claim or demand or enforce any
remedy whatsoever against the Borrower or any other Obligor (or any other
Person) before or as a condition to the obligations of the Parent under this
Article IX.

         SECTION 9.2.  Guaranty Unconditional.  The obligations of the Parent
under this Article IX amend and restate the Parent's guaranty under the
Existing Credit Agreement and shall be construed as a continuing, absolute,
unconditional and irrevocable guaranty of payment and shall remain in full
force and effect until all the Guaranteed Obligations have been indefeasibly
paid in full in cash and all Commitments shall have permanently terminated.
The Parent guarantees that the Guaranteed Obligations will be paid strictly in
accordance with the terms of the agreement, instrument or document under which
they arise, regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in
effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of the
Agent or any of the Lenders with respect thereto.  The liability of the Parent
hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of:

                 (a)  any lack of validity, legality or enforceability of this
         Agreement, the Notes, any Rate Protection Agreement with a Lender or
         any other Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument relating
         to any thereof;

                 (b)  any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or
         in any other term of, all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any
         compromise, renewal, extension, acceleration or release with respect
         thereto, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to
         departure from this Agreement, the Notes, any Rate Protection
         Agreement with a Lender or any other Loan Document;

                 (c)  any addition, exchange, release or non-perfection of any
         collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of





                                     -102-
<PAGE>   109
         or consent to departure from any other guaranty, for all or any of the
         Guaranteed Obligations;

                 (d)  the failure of the Agent or any Lender

                          (i)  to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any
                 right or remedy against the Borrower, any other Obligor or any
                 other Person (including any other guarantor) under the
                 provisions of this Agreement, any Note, any Rate Protection
                 Agreement with a Lender or any other Loan Document or
                 otherwise, or

                          (ii)  to exercise any right or remedy against any
                 other guarantor of, or collateral securing, any of the
                 Guaranteed Obligations;

                 (e)  any amendment to, rescission, waiver, or other
         modification of, or any consent to departure from, any of the terms of
         this Agreement, any Note, any Rate Protection Agreement with a Lender
         or any other Loan Document;

                 (f)  any defense, set-off or counter-claim which may at any
         time be available to or be asserted by the Borrower or any other
         Obligor against the Agent or any Lender;

                 (g)  any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination of
         the Guaranteed Obligations for any reason, including any claim of
         waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be
         subject to (and the Parent hereby waives any right to or claim of) any
         defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever
         by reason of the invalidity, illegality, nongenuineness, irregularity,
         compromise, unenforceability of, or any other event or occurrence
         affecting, the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise; or

                 (h)  any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a
         defense available to, or a legal or equitable discharge of, the
         Borrower, any other Obligor or any surety or guarantor.

         SECTION 9.3.  Reinstatement in Certain Circumstances.  If at any time
any payment in whole or in part of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is
rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency,
bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower, any other Obligor or otherwise,
the Parent's obligations under this Article IX with respect to such payment
shall be reinstated as though such payment had been due but not made at such
time.

         SECTION 9.4.  Waiver by the Parent.  The Parent irrevocably waives
promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance hereof,





                                     -103-
<PAGE>   110
presentment, demand, protest and any other notice with respect to any of the
Guaranteed Obligations, as well as any requirement that at any time any action
be taken by any Person against the Borrower or any other Person.

         SECTION 9.5.  Postponement of Subrogation, etc.  The Parent will not
exercise any rights which it may acquire by way of rights of subrogation by any
payment made hereunder or otherwise, until the prior payment, in full and in
cash, of all Guaranteed Obligations.  Any amount paid to the Parent on account
of any such subrogation rights prior to the payment in full of all Guaranteed
Obligations shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Lenders and each
holder of a Note and shall immediately be paid to the Agent and credited and
applied against the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that if

                 (a)  the Parent has made payment to the Lenders and each
         holder of a Note of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, and

                 (b)  all Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full and all
         Commitments have been permanently terminated,

each Lender and each holder of a Note agrees that, at the Parent's request, the
Agent, on behalf of the Lenders and the holders of the Notes, will execute and
deliver to the Parent appropriate documents (without recourse and without
representation or warranty) necessary to evidence the transfer by subrogation
to the Parent of an interest in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from such
payment by the Parent.  In furtherance of the foregoing, for so long as any
Guaranteed Obligations or Commitments remain outstanding, the Parent shall
refrain from taking any action or commencing any proceeding against the
Borrower (or its successors or assigns, whether in connection with a bankruptcy
proceeding or otherwise) to recover any amounts in the respect of payments to
any Lender or any holder of a Note.

         SECTION 9.6.  Stay of Acceleration.  If acceleration of the time for
payment of any amount payable by the Borrower under this Agreement or any Note
is stayed upon the occurrence of any event referred to in Section 8.1.9 with
respect to the Borrower, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration
under the terms of this Agreement shall nonetheless be payable by the Parent
hereunder forthwith.

                                   THE AGENT

         SECTION 10.1.  Actions.  Each Lender hereby appoints SG as Agent under
and for purposes of this Agreement, the Notes and each other Loan Document.
Each Lender authorizes the Agent to act on behalf of such Lender under this
Agreement, the Notes and each other Loan Document and, in the absence of other
written instructions from the Required Lenders received from time to time by
the Agent (with respect to which the Agent agrees that it will comply, except
as otherwise provided in this Section or as otherwise advised by counsel), to
exercise such powers hereunder and thereunder as are specifically delegated to
or required of the Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such
powers as may be reasonably incidental thereto.  Without limiting the effect of
the preceding sentences of this Section 10.1, each Lender authorizes the Agent
to act as collateral agent and to hold and accept title to all liens and
security interests granted to the Agent by the Borrower, the Parent or any
other Obligor for the ratable benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, in order to
exercise remedies on behalf of the Lenders in connection with the enforcement
of such liens and security interests in accordance with the provisions of the
Loan Documents.  Each Lender hereby indemnifies (which indemnity shall survive
any termination of this Agreement) the Agent, pro rata according to such
Lender's Percentage, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations,
losses, damages, claims, costs or expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever
which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against, the
Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Notes and
any other Loan Document, including reasonable attorneys' fees, and as to which
the Agent is not reimbursed by the Borrower; provided, however, that no Lender
shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, claims, costs or expenses which are determined by
a court of competent jurisdiction in a final proceeding to have resulted solely
from the negligence or wilful misconduct of the Agent.  The Agent shall not be
required to take any action hereunder, under the Notes or under any other Loan
Document, or to prosecute or defend any suit in respect of this Agreement, the
Notes or any other Loan Document, unless it is indemnified hereunder to its
satisfaction.  If any indemnity in favor of the Agent shall be or become, in
the determination of the Agent, inadequate, the Agent may call for additional
indemnification from the Lenders and cease to do the acts indemnified against
hereunder until such additional indemnity is given; provided, however, that no
Lender shall be required to indemnify the Agent, with respect to any
obligation, loss, damage, claim, cost or expense for which the Agent would be
entitled to indemnification hereunder, in an amount which would be greater than
such Lender's Percentage of the aggregate amount of such obligation, loss,
damage, claim, cost or expense.





                                     -105-
<PAGE>   112
         SECTION 10.2.  Funding Reliance, etc.  Unless the Agent shall have
been notified by telephone, confirmed in writing, by any Lender by 5:00 p.m.
(New York City time), on the day prior to a Borrowing that such Lender will not
make available the amount which would constitute its Percentage of such
Borrowing on the date specified therefor, the Agent may assume that such Lender
has made such amount available to the Agent and, in reliance upon such
assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount.  If and to
the extent that such Lender shall not have made such amount available to the
Agent, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to repay the Agent
forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon,
for each day from the date the Agent made such amount available to the Borrower
to the date such amount is repaid to the Agent, in the case of the Borrower, at
the interest rate applicable at the time to Loans comprising such Borrowing
and, in the case of such Lender, for the period from the date such funds were
advanced to the Borrower to (and including) three days thereafter, at the
Federal Funds Rate and, following such third day, at the interest rate
applicable at the time to Loans comprising such Borrowing.

         SECTION 10.3.  Exculpation.  Neither the Agent nor any of its
directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable to any Lender for any
action taken or omitted to be taken by it under this Agreement or any other
Loan Document, or in connection herewith or therewith, except for its own
wilful misconduct or negligence, nor responsible for any recitals or warranties
herein or therein, nor for the effectiveness, enforceability, validity or due
execution of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, nor for the creation,
perfection or priority of any Liens purported to be created by any of the Loan
Documents, or the validity, genuineness, enforceability, existence, value or
sufficiency of any collateral security, nor to make any inquiry respecting the
performance by the Borrower of its obligations hereunder or under any other
Loan Document.  Any such inquiry which may be made by the Agent shall not
obligate it to make any further inquiry or to take any action.  The Agent shall
be entitled to rely upon advice of counsel concerning legal matters and upon
any notice, consent, certificate, statement or writing which the Agent believes
to be genuine and to have been presented by a proper Person.

         SECTION 10.4.  Successor.  The Agent may resign as such at any time
upon at least 30 days' prior notice to the Borrower and all Lenders.  If no
successor Agent shall have been appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall
have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Agent's
giving notice of resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the
Lenders, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be one of the Lenders or a
commercial banking institution organized under the laws of the U.S. (or any
State thereof) or a U.S. branch or agency of a commercial banking institution,
and having a combined





                                     -106-
<PAGE>   113
capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000.  Upon the acceptance of any
appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall
be entitled to receive from the retiring Agent such documents of transfer and
assignment as such successor Agent may reasonably request, and shall thereupon
succeed to and become vested with all rights, powers, privileges and duties of
the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties
and obligations under this Agreement.  After any retiring Agent's resignation
hereunder as the Agent, the provisions of

                 (a)  this Article X shall inure to its benefit as to any
         actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Agent
         under this Agreement; and

                 (b)  Section 11.3 and Section 11.4 shall continue to inure to
         its benefit.

         SECTION 10.5.  Credit Extensions by SG.  SG shall have the same rights
and powers with respect to (x) the Loans made by it or any of its Affiliates,
and (y) the Notes held by it or any of its Affiliates as any other Lender and
may exercise the same as if it were not the Agent.  SG and each of its
Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any
kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the
Borrower as if it were not the Agent hereunder.

         SECTION 10.6.  Credit Decisions.  Each Lender acknowledges that it
has, independently of the Agent and each other Lender, and based on such
Lender's review of the financial information of the Borrower, this Agreement,
the other Loan Documents (the terms and provisions of which being satisfactory
to such Lender) and such other documents, information and investigations as
such Lender has deemed appropriate, made its own credit decision to extend its
Commitments.  Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently of the
Agent and each other Lender, and based on such other documents, information and
investigations as it shall deem appropriate at any time, continue to make its
own credit decisions as to exercising or not exercising from time to time any
rights and privileges available to it under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document.

         SECTION 10.7.  Loan Documents, etc.  Each Lender hereby authorizes the
Agent to enter into the applicable Loan Documents and to take all action
contemplated thereby.  Each Lender agrees that no Lender shall have any right
individually to seek to realize upon the security granted by any Loan Document,
it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised
solely by the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders and the Agent upon the terms
of the Loan Documents.  The Agent shall determine (after consultation with the
Required Lenders (provided that, in the case there are only two Lenders at the
time of such





                                     -107-
<PAGE>   114
determination, such consultation will be with each such Lender)) the manner in
which proceeds of Collateral will be applied to the Obligations (after the
payment of fees and expenses as set forth in the Loan Documents).

         SECTION 10.8.  Copies, etc.  The Agent shall give prompt notice to
each Lender of each notice or request given to the Agent by the Borrower or the
Parent and required to be delivered to the Lenders pursuant to the terms of
this Agreement (unless concurrently delivered to the Lenders by the Borrower or
the Parent).  The Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender each document
or instrument received for its account and copies of all other communications
received by the Agent from the Borrower for distribution to the Lenders by the
Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.


                                   ARTICLE XI
                            MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

         SECTION 11.1.  Waivers, Amendments, etc.  The provisions of this
Agreement and of each other Loan Document may from time to time be amended,
modified or waived, if such amendment, modification or waiver is in writing and
consented to by the Borrower and the Agent (acting only at the direction or
with the authority of the Required Lenders); provided, however, that no such
amendment, modification or waiver which would:

                 (a)  modify any requirement hereunder that any particular
         action be taken by all the Lenders or by the Required Lenders shall be
         effective unless consented to by each Lender;

                 (b)  modify this Section 11.1, change the definition of
         "Required Lenders", increase the Commitment Amount or the Percentage
         of any Lender, reduce any fees described in Article III, change the
         time for payment of fees to the Lenders described in Article III, or
         release all or any substantial part of the collateral security, except
         as otherwise specifically provided in any Loan Document, shall be made
         without the consent of each Lender affected thereby;

                 (c)  extend the due date for, or reduce the amount of, any
         scheduled repayment under Section 3.1.2(b) of principal of, or
         interest on, any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation (or reduce the
         principal amount of or rate of interest on any Loan or Reimbursement
         Obligation) or extend any Commitment Termination Date without the
         consent of the holder of that Note evidencing such Loan;

                 (d)  increase the Stated Amount of any Letter of Credit unless
         consented to by each Issuer; or





                                     -108-
<PAGE>   115
                 (e)  affect adversely the interests, rights or obligations of
         the Agent in its capacity as Agent or the Issuer in its capacity as
         Issuer, without the consent of the Agent or the Issuer, as the case
         may be.

No failure or delay on the part of the Agent, any Lender or the holder of any
Note in exercising any power or right under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any such power or right preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other power or right.  No notice to or demand on
the Borrower in any case shall entitle it to any notice or demand in similar or
other circumstances.  No waiver or approval by the Agent, any Lender or the
holder of any Note under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall,
except as may be otherwise stated in such waiver or approval, be applicable to
subsequent transactions.  No waiver or approval hereunder shall require any
similar or dissimilar waiver or approval thereafter to be granted hereunder.
The remedies provided in this Agreement are cumulative, and not exclusive of
remedies provided by law.

         SECTION 11.2.  Notices.  All notices and other communications provided
to any party hereto under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be in
writing and addressed, delivered or transmitted to such party at its address or
telecopy number set forth on Schedule IV hereto (or set forth in a Lender
Assignment Agreement) or at such other address or telecopy number as may be
designated by such party in a notice to the other parties given in accordance
with this Section.  Any notice, if mailed and properly addressed and sent
return receipt requested with postage prepaid, shall be deemed given three
Business Days after posting; any notice, if sent by prepaid overnight express
shall be deemed delivered on the next Business Day; any notice, if transmitted
by telecopy, shall be deemed given when sent, with confirmation of receipt; any
notice, if transmitted by hand, shall be deemed received when delivered.

         SECTION 11.3.  Payment of Costs and Expenses.  The Borrower and the
Parent jointly and severally agree to pay on demand all reasonable expenses of
the Agent (including the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel
to the Agent, including any legal counsel and consultants, if any, who may be
retained in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby by the Agent)
in connection with

                 (a)  the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of
         this Agreement and of each other Loan Document, including schedules
         and exhibits, and any amendments, waivers, consents, supplements or
         other modifications to this Agreement or any other Loan Document as
         may from time to time hereafter be required, and the Lenders' and the
         Agent's consideration of their rights and remedies hereunder





                                     -109-

         or in connection herewith from time to time whether or not the
         transactions contemplated hereby or thereby are consummated;

                 (b)  the filing, recording, refiling or rerecording of the
         Pledge Agreements, the Security Agreements (and any supplements
         thereto) and any other security instruments executed in connection
         with the transactions contemplated hereby and/or U.C.C. financing
         statements relating thereto and all amendments, supplements and
         modifications to any thereof and any and all other documents or
         instruments of further assurance required to be filed or recorded or
         refiled or rerecorded by the terms hereof or of the Pledge Agreements
         or the Security Agreements or such other documents; and

                 (c)  the preparation and review of the form of any document or
         instrument relevant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

The Borrower and the Parent jointly and severally further agree to pay, and to
save the Agent and the Lenders harmless from all liability for, any stamp or
other taxes which may be payable in connection with the execution or delivery
of this Agreement, the borrowings hereunder, or the issuance of the Notes or
any other Loan Documents.  The Borrower and the Parent jointly and severally
also agree to reimburse the Agent and each Lender upon demand for all
reasonable out- of-pocket expenses (including attorneys' fees and legal
expenses, including allocated fees and expenses of internal counsel) incurred
by the Agent or such Lender in connection with (x) the negotiation of any
restructuring or "work-out", whether or not consummated, of any Obligations and
(y) the enforcement of any Obligations (including the Obligations of the Parent
under Article IX).  The Borrower and the Parent jointly and severally also
agree to reimburse the Agent on demand for all administration, audit and
monitoring expenses incurred in connection with the Borrowing Base and
determinations in respect thereof.  The Borrower and the Parent jointly and
severally further agree to reimburse the Agent on demand for all other

an Event of Default in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents.

         SECTION 11.4.  Indemnification.  In consideration of the execution and
delivery of this Agreement by each Lender and the extension of the Commitments,
the Borrower and the Parent jointly and severally hereby indemnify, exonerate
and hold the Agent and each Lender and each of their respective officers,
directors, employees and agents (collectively, the "Indemnified Parties") free
and harmless from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits,
losses, costs, liabilities and damages, and expenses incurred in connection
therewith (irrespective of





                                     -110-
<PAGE>   117
whether any such Indemnified Party is a party to the action for which
indemnification hereunder is sought), including reasonable attorneys' fees and
disbursements (including allocated fees and expenses of internal counsel)
(collectively, the "Indemnified Liabilities"), incurred by the Indemnified
Parties or any of them as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to

                 (a)  any transaction financed or to be financed in whole or in
         part, directly or indirectly, with the proceeds of any Loan or with
         any Letter of Credit;

                 (b)  the entering into and performance of this Agreement and
         any other Loan Document by any of the Indemnified Parties (including
         any action brought by or on behalf of the Borrower as the result of
         any determination by the Required Lenders pursuant to Article V not to
         fund any Borrowing);

                 (c)  any investigation, litigation or proceeding related to
         any acquisition or proposed acquisition by the Borrower, the Parent or
         any of their respective Subsidiaries of all or any portion of the
         stock or assets of any Person, whether or not the Agent or such Lender
         is party thereto;

                 (d)  any investigation, litigation or proceeding related to
         any environmental cleanup, audit, compliance or other matter relating
         to the protection of the environment or the Release by the Borrower,
         the Parent or any of their respective Subsidiaries of any Hazardous
         Material;

                 (e)  the presence on or under, or the escape, seepage,
         leakage, spillage, discharge, emission, discharging or releases from,
         any real property owned or operated by the Borrower, the Parent or any
         of their respective Subsidiaries of any Hazardous Material (including,
         without limitation, any losses, liabilities, damages, injuries, costs,
         expenses or claims asserted or arising under any Environmental Law,
         the costs of defending and or counterclaiming or claiming over against
         third parties in respect of any action or matter, and any cost,
         liability or damage arising out of a settlement of any action entered
         into by the Agent), regardless of whether caused by, or within the
         control of, the Borrower, the Parent or any such Subsidiary;

                 (f)  Environmental Laws relating to the Borrower, the Parent
         or any of their respective Subsidiaries, including the assertion of
         any lien thereunder;

                 (g)  any order, consent, decree, settlement, judgement or
         verdict arising from the deposit, storage, disposal, burial, dumping,
         injection, spilling, leaking, or other placement or release in, on or
         from the Realty of any

<PAGE>   118
         Hazardous Material (including without limitation any order under the
         Environmental Laws to clean-up or decommission), whether or not such
         deposit, storage, disposal, burial, dumping, injecting, spillage,
         leaking or other placement or release in, on or from the Realty of any
         Hazardous Material:

                          (i)  results by, through or under the Borrower, the
                 Parent or any of their respective Subsidiaries; or

                          (ii)  occurred with the knowledge and consent of the
                 Borrower, the Parent or any of their respective Subsidiaries;
                 or

                          (iii)  occurred before or after the Effective Date,
                 whether with or without the knowledge of the Borrower, the
                 Parent or any of their respective Subsidiaries; or

                 (h)  the failure to maintain insurance coverage required by
         Section 7.1.4;

except for any such Indemnified Liabilities arising for the account of a
particular Indemnified Party by reason of the relevant Indemnified Party's
gross negligence or wilful misconduct.  If and to the extent that the foregoing
undertaking may be unenforceable for any reason, the Borrower and the Parent
each hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and
satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under
applicable law.

         SECTION 11.5.  Survival.  The obligations of the Borrower under
Sections 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6, 11.3 and 11.4, and the obligations of the Lenders
under Section 10.1, shall in each case survive any termination of this
Agreement, the payment in full of all the Obligations and the termination of
all the Commitments.  The representations and warranties made by each Obligor
in this Agreement and in each other Loan Document shall survive the execution
and delivery of this Agreement and each such other Loan Document.

         SECTION 11.6.  Severability.  Any provision of this Agreement or any
other Loan Document which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction
shall, as to such provision and such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent
of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining
provisions of this Agreement or such Loan Document or affecting the validity or
enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

         SECTION 11.7.  Headings.  The various headings of this Agreement and
of each other Loan Document are inserted for convenience only and shall not
affect the meaning or





                                     -112-
<PAGE>   119
interpretation of this Agreement or such other Loan Document or any provisions
hereof or thereof.

         SECTION 11.8.  Execution in Counterparts.  This Agreement may be
executed by the parties hereto in several counterparts, each of which shall be
an original and all of which shall constitute together but one and the same
agreement.

         SECTION 11.9.  Governing Law; Entire Agreement.  THIS AGREEMENT AND
THE NOTES SHALL EACH BE DEEMED TO BE A CONTRACT  MADE UNDER AND GOVERNED BY THE
LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.  This Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan
Documents constitute the entire understanding among the parties hereto with
respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede any prior agreements,
written or oral, with respect thereto.

         SECTION 11.10.  Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement shall be
binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that:

                 (a)  neither the Borrower nor the Parent may assign or
         transfer its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written
         consent of the Agent and all Lenders; and

                 (b)  the rights of sale, assignment and transfer of the
         Lenders are subject to Section 11.11.

         SECTION 11.11.  Sale and Transfer of Loans and Notes; Participations
in Loans and Notes.  Each Lender may assign, or sell participations in, its
Loans and Commitments to one or more other Persons in accordance with this
Section 11.11.

         SECTION 11.11.1.  Assignments.  (a)  Any Lender, upon notice to the
Borrower and with the written consent of the Agent (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed), may at any time assign and delegate all or
any fraction of such Lender's Loans, Commitments and Letter of Credit
participations to one or more commercial banks or other financial institutions
(each Person described in either of the foregoing clauses as the Person to whom
such assignment and delegation is to be made being hereinafter referred to as
an "Assignee Lender"), all or any fraction of such Lender's total Loans,
Commitments and Letter of Credit participations (which assignment and
delegation shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of all the
assigning Lender's Loans and Commitments) in a minimum aggregate amount of
$5,000,000 (or, if less, the total of such Lender's Commitment Amount);
provided, however, that the Borrower, each other Obligor and the Agent shall be
entitled to continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection
with the interests so assigned and delegated to an Assignee Lender until





                                     -113-
<PAGE>   120
                 (i)  written notice of such assignment and delegation,
         together with payment instructions, addresses and related information
         with respect to such Assignee Lender, shall have been given to the
         Borrower and the Agent by such Lender and such Assignee Lender;

                 (ii)  such Assignee Lender shall have executed and delivered
         to the Borrower and the Agent a Lender Assignment Agreement, accepted
         by the Agent; and

                 (iii)  the processing fees described below shall have been
         paid.

From and after the date that the Agent accepts such Lender Assignment
Agreement, (x) the Assignee Lender thereunder shall be deemed automatically to
have become a party hereto and to the extent that rights and obligations
hereunder have been assigned and delegated to such Assignee Lender in
connection with such Lender Assignment Agreement, shall have the rights and
obligations of a Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and (y)
the assignor Lender, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have
been assigned and delegated by it in connection with such Lender Assignment
Agreement, shall be released from its obligations hereunder and under the other
Loan Documents.  Within five Business Days after its receipt of notice that the
Agent has received an executed Lender Assignment Agreement, the Borrower shall
execute and deliver to the Agent (for delivery to the relevant Assignee Lender)
new Notes evidencing such Assignee Lender's assigned Loans and Commitments and,
if the assignor Lender has retained Loans and Commitments hereunder,
replacement Notes in the principal amount of the Loans and Commitments retained
by the assignor Lender hereunder (such Notes to be in exchange for, but not in
payment of, those Notes then held by such assignor Lender).  Each such Note
shall be dated the date of the predecessor Notes.  The assignor Lender shall
mark the predecessor Notes "exchanged" and deliver them to the Borrower.
Accrued interest on that part of the predecessor Notes evidenced by the new
Notes, and accrued fees, shall be paid as provided in the Lender Assignment
Agreement.  Accrued interest on that part of the predecessor Notes evidenced by
the replacement Notes shall be paid to the assignor Lender.  Accrued interest
and accrued fees shall be paid at the same time or times provided in the
predecessor Notes and in this Agreement.  Such assignor Lender or such Assignee
Lender must also pay a processing fee to the Agent upon delivery of any Lender
Assignment Agreement in the amount of $3,000.  Any attempted assignment and
delegation not made in accordance with this Section 11.11.1 shall be null and
void.

         (b)  Notwithstanding clause (a), any Lender may assign and pledge all
or any portion of its Loans and Notes and other rights to a Federal Reserve
Bank as collateral security; provided,





                                     -114-
<PAGE>   121
however, that no such assignment under this clause (b) shall release the
assignor Lender from any of its obligations hereunder.

         SECTION 11.11.2.  Participations.  (a)  Any Lender may at any time
without the consent of the Borrower or the Agent (but with prior written notice
to the Borrower and the Agent) sell to one or more commercial banks or other
Persons (each of such commercial banks and other Persons being herein called a
"Participant") participating interests in any of the Loans, Commitments, or
other interests of such Lender hereunder; provided, however, that

                 (i)  no participation contemplated in this Section 11.11.2
         shall relieve such Lender from its Commitments or its other
         obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document;

                 (ii)  such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the
         performance of its Commitments and such other obligations;

                 (iii)  the Borrower and each other Obligor and the Agent shall
         continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection
         with such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement and
         each of the other Loan Documents;

                 (iv)  no Participant, unless such Participant is an Affiliate
         of such Lender, or is itself a Lender, shall be entitled to require
         such Lender to take or refrain from taking any action hereunder or
         under any other Loan Document, except that such Lender may agree with
         any Participant that such Lender will not, without such Participant's
         consent, take any actions of the type described in clause (b) or (c)
         of Section 11.1; and

                 (v)  the Borrower shall not be required to pay any amount
         under clause (b) of this Section that is greater than the amount which
         it would have been required to pay had no participating interest been
         sold.

         (b)  The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that each Participant, for
purposes of Sections 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6, 11.3 and 11.4, shall be considered a
Lender, subject to clause (v) above.

         SECTION 11.11.3.  Certain Other Provisions.  (a)  The Borrower and the
Parent authorize each Lender to disclose to any participant or assignee (each,
a "Transferee") and any prospective Transferee, subject to the agreement of
such Transferee or prospective Transferee to comply with Section 11.14





                                     -115-

concerning the Borrower, the Parent or any of their respective Subsidiaries
which has been delivered to such Lender by any such Person pursuant to or in
connection with this Agreement or which has been delivered to such Lender by
any such Person in connection with such Lender's credit evaluation of the
Borrower, the Parent or any of their respective Subsidiaries prior to entering
into this Agreement.

         (b)  If, pursuant to this Section, any interest in this Agreement or
any Loan or Note is transferred to any Transferee which is organized under the
laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States or any State thereof, the
transferor Lender shall cause such Transferee (other than any Participant), and
may cause any Participant, concurrently with the effectiveness of such
transfer, (i) to represent to the transferor Lender (for the benefit of the
transferor Lender, the Agent and the Borrower) that under applicable law and
treaties, no taxes will be required to be withheld by the Agent, the Borrower
or the transferor Lender with respect to any payments to be made to such
Transferee in respect of the Loans, (ii) to furnish to the transferor Lender,
the Agent and the Borrower either U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form 4224 or
U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form 1001 (wherein such Transferee claims
entitlement to whole or partial exemption from U.S. Federal withholding tax on
all interest payments hereunder) and (iii) to agree (for the benefit of the
transferor Lender, the Agent and the Borrower) to provide the transferor
Lender, the Agent and the Borrower a new Form 4224 or Form 1001 upon the
obsolescence of any previously delivered form and comparable statements in
accordance with applicable U.S. laws and regulations and amendments duly
executed and completed by such Transferee, and to comply from time to time with
all applicable U.S. laws and regulations with regard to such withholding tax
exemption.

         SECTION 11.12.  Other Transactions.  Nothing contained herein shall
preclude either the Agent or any other Lender from engaging in any transaction,
in addition to those contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document,
with the Borrower, the Parent or any of their respective Affiliates in which
the Borrower, the Parent or such Affiliate is not restricted hereby from
engaging with any other Person.

         SECTION 11.13.  Certain Collateral and Other Matters.  (a)  The Agent
is authorized on behalf of all the Lenders, without the necessity of any notice
to or further consent from the Lenders, from time to time to take any action
with respect to any Collateral or the Loan Documents which may be necessary to
perfect and maintain perfected the security interest in and Liens upon the
Collateral granted pursuant to the Loan Documents.

         (b)  The Lenders irrevocably authorize the Agent, at its option and in
its discretion, to release any security interest or Lien granted to or held by
the Agent upon any Collateral (i) upon termination of the Commitments and
Letters of Credit and payment in full in cash of all principal of and interest
on the Loans, all fees payable pursuant to Section 3.3 and 11.3, all
Reimbursement Obligations (including interest thereon) and all other fees,

items stated to survive the termination of this Agreement)); (ii) constituting
property sold or to be sold or disposed of as part of or in connection with any
disposition permitted hereunder; (iii) constituting property in which the
Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower owned no interest at the time the
security interest and/or Lien was granted or at any time thereafter; (iv)

required by Section 11.1, each Lender.  Upon request by the Agent at any time,
the Lenders will confirm in writing the Agent's authority to release particular
types or items of collateral pursuant to this Section.

         SECTION 11.14.  Confidential Information.  The Agent and each Lender

the Borrower to the Agent and each Lender) obtained pursuant to this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents in accordance with its customary procedures for
handling confidential information, provided that disclosure of such
confidential information may be made (a) to the Affiliates, examiners,
directors, shareholders, accountants, auditors, counsel and other professional

participation to an Assignee Lender or Participant, as the case may be, so long
